Methods of Teaching Physics

This course requires student-teachers to scaffold learning; practice how to promote active engagement of the learner; expose and discuss common misconceptions; organize the syllabus into schemes of work and further into lesson notes; use assessment as a means of advancing learning; develop effective and interactive teaching techniques and styles; and use collaborative rich tasks to engage science students in co-operative small group work.

The course specifically includes the following topics: Overview of theories of learning and teaching; principles of learning and teaching; various instructional strategies; creating a good teaching environment (including board management, class control and class management); motivation in science teaching; statement of lesson objectives and set induction; lesson  planning; questioning and questioning skills; learning difficulties in physics; practical work in physics; and use of ICT in teaching physics.

General Topology

 This course is about the study of properties of topological spaces. Topological spaces turn up naturally in mathematical analysis, abstract algebra and geometry. A topological space is a structure that allows one to generalize concepts such as convergence, connectedness and continuity. Topics covered include: open and closed sets, neighbourhood, basis, convergence, limit point, completeness, compactness, connectedness, continuity of functions, separation axioms, subspaces, product spaces, and quotient spaces.
